Hail, Caledonia! Or, the day I found a charming hamlet in which to play with my new camera. I had a random day off with no obligations, a rarity. I made breakfast plans with my bestie since seventh grade, the first…

A new camera. An old friend. And amazing coffee.

I make a photo every day. Thought I might share some of them here.

I’m O-negative too, and one day they called me four times in eight hours, in addition to the emails. Ridiculous. This can’t be encouraging donors, right? It feels like harassment.

My daughter’s rocketry club at USC named a test vehicle Baja Blast so yes, it fits perfectly!

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

What are you looking at these days?

You keep posting cool stuff I can’t buy and it’s breaking my heart. 😢

Well, #EssayCamp did its job...I've written every day for five days, and I feel motivated to keep going. Well done, @summerbrennan.bsky.social ! And bravo, everyone else, who kept me motivated by posting here! I will keep writing. This is just what I needed. Huzzah!

Would so love to read that. Fingers crossed it gets published!

Way to go! I'm so here for the Tom Petty lyrics. He made an appearance in my first day 5 Things.

Yay yay yay! I’ve written both days, too! Tonight was easier than last night, which I think bodes well.

I did 5 things for the first time ever and loved it. 4 good paragraphs and 1 last small note I stand by: There’s a Tom Petty song for every situation. Fight me. (Didn’t count words! Sorry!) #essaycamp

Thank you, Malorie! This is fantastic!

Me, too! I’m also fairly new to bsky so I’m figuring this out as I go. Hoping to stay connected!
